You get used to it. I barely even feel hits anymore, and all I wear when I play are a pair of pants and a jersey.

The adrenaline thing I can't help you with. Maybe it wasn't the right scenario. Maybe paintball just isn't your thing. But as for the hits, I find the adrenaline part helps. When I get really into a game, and I get shot out, I don't think, "Ow, that hurt." I'm more concerned with the fact that, "That was a stupid move I made," or, "I was SOOO close!" After a while of play, a hit doesn't hurt me anymore, it just says, "You suck, do better next time." |

of course there are always shots that hit sensitive areas that always sting like hell! Your neck, ball, fingers, ass, back of your thigh, these spots always sting. So get a jock strap.

You dont always get the adrenaline rush. I know I had a game in a scenario setup where it was me vs 3 others and instead of adrenaline I got really calm. The calm actually helped me to have better control and I ended up taking them all out one by one without them even knowing where I was. It depends on the situation. As for the pain it will sting but you get used to it. The only advice I can say is get some cut off fingered gloves. the ones with the plastic on the outside that are really cheap work well. Also I like to use a neck protector b/c the neck shots hurt.

Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your...

In the summer, when Alabama turns into the jungle with temperatures in the upper 90's, some of us idiots go play in shorts and t-shirts just to stay cool. You get used to the feeling eventually. My tip is to play more and (as bad as this sounds) take more hits. You will eventually quit thinking about getting hit because you aren't afraid of it anymore. You will enjoy the game more if you are less concerned about taking painful hits. I don't even think about it anymore. I am more concerned about getting scratched up by briars and crap because I wasn't smart enough to wear a long sleeved shirt...

As has been said, if you keep playing there will be a point where you hardly even feel it when you get shot. Fingers and the neck will pretty much always hurt. They make Neck Protectors and gloves for that though. I don't use either, because I am used to it.
The adrenaline rush thing is completely different. Maybe it's because you were playing 1v1. Try to make it to a real field one day and play with a bunch of people on both teams. |

Ball? You only have one of them? That might explain why I have three of them. |

Bah, when you're on the move and jukin' and jivin', if you get hit it doesn't hurt, you're too psyched to be in pain unless of course you get smashed in the twig & berries!

I never feel the hits until the next day when old age reminds me I have been hit.

You can never take the pain out of paintball.
If you did it would be tball . . . and that's a little kids game. |

Whoever said they can get used to the pain of paintballs is bs.
You will always hurt after being lit up, period. There is no getting used to it. period. |

Or the pain of Montezuma's revenge. That seems like it'll never go away.
The severe headache, the upset stomach, the flaming bung hole. |
